The meaning of sacrifice rings most relevant here. Something can never come from nothing. It always requires a sacrifice. That is why we have an inherent sense to encourage prudence and developing emergent systems that are aware of sacrifice, or you could call it the cost to achieve a result. “If you want to make an omelet you gotta break an egg” y’all know that!

I guess it’s a matter of semantics. Like anything else, evolution can be understood in many ways. I think of it as a somewhat unpredictable emergence based on somewhat predictable environmental and genetic variables.
